Short of an old friend from architecture school who has lived in Chicago all his or her life, what could top a brand new architect’s guide to accompany you around the Windy City during the AIA National Convention June 10–12? Completely revised and updated, the AIA Guide to Chicago, second edition, which will be hot-off-the-presses in April, offers 1,000 individual buildings with 400 photos—many taken expressly for the guide—plus 35 specially commissioned maps.

With buildings geographically arranged, the new guide’s descriptions speak your language, focusing on those “illuminating but easily overlooked details” and some not-so-humble opinions by the natives. The AIA Guide to Chicago, at $30, is this year’s AIA convention goer’s essential accessory.

Your Guide can be waiting for your arrival, if you order it when you register. You’ll receive a coupon in your preregistration packet to be redeemed on-site at the AIA Chicago Host Chapter booth. Or, you may purchase a copy on-site at the Host Chapter booth or the AIA Chicago Store—while supplies last. Register—online or by mail—for the AIA convention before May 14 and receive the best choice of accommodations and continuing-ed workshops and seminars.
